How would you describe your fragrance taste? Imagine you had to come up with three words to share with someone across the table, and in return, they would give you a key to a room filled from floor to ceiling with perfumes that match your description. Could you decide? Try it. I would choose three ingredients: neroli, bergamot, and jasmine. I’m certain that if a perfume contains one of these notes (or all of them at once!), there’s a good chance it will hit the right note with me and we’ll get along very well. Given this, it’s probably clear…

I’m not sure whether this is good or bad news, but I just found out that Caudalie is available in Müller in Zadar. And they’ve got such a glorious selection that I seriously need three more faces to try everything! This brand totally stole my heart—and my skin. I fell for it just like I once did with L’Occitane, which, fun fact, is what inspired me to start blogging in the first place. That’s how big of a love story we’re talking about here! So far, I’ve been trying out a little mix of Caudalie skincare. If you haven’t already,…
Did you know that even high-end perfume houses are diving into the world of all-natural scents? And I don’t mean “we added two drops of flower extract and called it a day” kind of natural. No fine print. No marketing tricks. Today’s perfume is 100% natural, vegan, made with ethically sourced hand-picked organic rose, lemon, blackcurrant, neroli, cedarwood, and mimosa. Its name? Chloé Rose Naturelle Intense. To be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of Chloé perfumes. They always bloom on my skin with such intensity that I can’t not notice them throughout the day – and it drives…
The moment I discovered Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria, I was instantly hooked—and honestly, I’m still amazed by how deeply we connect. We’re on the same wavelength, as if we’ve always known each other. It felt like finding that final puzzle piece—the one that makes everything click into place so perfectly that you just want to sit back, gaze at your masterpiece, and sigh with pure satisfaction. There was no need to “get used to” the brand or warm up to this particular fragrance. No effort, no doubts, no overthinking. We simply fit. And I can feel it. Literally!…
Whoever decided to place lip balms right by the checkout was a marketing genius. Seriously. My eyes always wander to that little display, and suddenly I’m mentally scanning my lip balm stash, wondering which one I still don’t have. This time, my hand reached for the honey version by Burt’s Bees. I have a deep trust in honey as a cosmetic ingredient, and after recently testing a propolis ointment on a cut finger (with magical results), my love for bee-based goodness only grew. So grabbing a lip balm full of the same golden magic? A no-brainer. Brand Buzz: A Little…
Originally, I intended to start today’s beauty discussion in a sophisticated and well-mannered way, but I’ll be straightforward. Moroccanoil hair care is pure hair indulgence. Forget everything you’ve tried on your hair so far. Yes, that includes 100% Pure and Olaplex products, which were my top benchmarks in the hairdressing world until recently. There’s hair care. And then there’s Moroccanoil. Moroccanoil Instead of Perfume First, the scent. Oh, the SCENT! It’s unlike anything I’ve tried before. All products share the same fragrance, so they harmonize beautifully, layering and smelling… wow! It’s a combination of a freshly bathed baby, clean laundry,…
I can’t live without clay masks, but I also struggle to use them regularly. What am I talking about? Clay face masks! They work wonderfully for cleansing the skin, and I don’t remember any cream mask ever surpassing them. There’s something about clay masks, they just work. But – I absolutely hate the mess. Mixing the powder, applying it (and in an unguarded moment, spilling it on the laundry, sink, or shirt), and then the washing off process. Ugh. But despite all of that hassle and slight discomfort, they’re totally worth it, and you should definitely get at least one.…
Have you ever applied your favorite perfume, only to find that after a few minutes, you can’t smell it at all? Not even a hint? This happened to me quite recently with my new favorite, Chloé Nomade Nuit d’Égypte. I sprayed the perfume twice on my décolletage (over my clothes) and headed out. On the way, it struck me that I couldn’t detect the scent at all. Considering it’s a fairly intense fragrance in an EDP concentration, this seemed odd. Did I apply it incorrectly? Did my clothing absorb the scent? Or did the perfume fade away that quickly? Strange……
